Series consists of a variety of documents, created by the Kapuskasing Experimental Station and its major constituents, the Poultry, Horticulture, Apiculture, Animal Husbandry, Field Husbandry, Forage Crops and Cereal divisions. These include daily journals, notebooks, annual reports, appointment books and a variety of research data. The daily journals, of which sets exist from a number of the Station's divisions, contain information on, for instance, weather, field conditions and farm management. There are also records from Illustration Stations at a number of other sites in Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec, where focussed experiments were conducted on strips of land leased from farmers. Annual reports for the Kapuskasing Experimental Station exist for the period from 1947 to 1966. The file "Colony Sheets 1957" in Volume 4270 consists of individual documents scattered throughout the apiculture records found in this accession.

Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Dept. of Agriculture. Experimental Station (Kapuskasing, Ont.) : The Experimental Station at Kapuskasing was established in 1914 and began operations in 1916 under the direction of J.P.S. Ballantyne. It opened after isolated pioneer settlements along the Northern Transcontinental railway had demonstrated the feasibility of farming in the North. The Experimental Station was planned both to promote the region as a focus of settlement, as well as to demonstrate what could and could not be grown in the area. In recent years, the work of the Station has concentrated on improving the efficiency of beef production in Eastern Canada. RG17 General Inventory
